CLASS OF 1901 



Rutgers College 



HISTORY TO MAY 1st 
1921 



COMPILED AND EDITED BY 
JAMES L. GARABRANT Clat, Stcrttary 



The Class of 1901 entered Rutgers College with forty men, 18 taking 
the classical course and twenty-two the scientific. At the end of the 
Freshman year three members of the classical section and three of the 
scientific decided to study in other institutions or enter business. In 
June, 1901, the College graduated 15 classical students and 18 scientific. 
A brief statement is given herewith as to the occupations of the men and 
pertinent facts. By 1904 we had lost three men by death, namely, Ranney, 
Gravatt and Sylvester. 

CLASSICAL SECTIOM 

Of the 18 classical men who entered the college, 15 married, one died, 
namely Ranney, and two are bachelors, Tindell and Ned Johnson. Two 
members lost their wives by death and re-married. The classical section 
has 36 children to its credit. 

Of the above seven are ministers, two lawyers, three physicians, one 
is teaching and four are in business. Three changed from teaching to 
business shortly after leaving college, namely Hummel, Gordon and 
Miller. One changed from law to business, namely Milliken, and one 
decided to forsake ministry to become a doctor, Ranson. The ministers are 
as follows : Cain, Gulick, A. F. Johnson, Simpson, Van Woert, Vyverberg, 
White. The lawyers are : Mann and Milliken. Physicians : Bell, Ranson 
and McCall. Ned Johnson is the only teacher. Of the business men Gordon 
is in the insurance business. Miller is a publisher, Tindell a public auditor 
and accountant, and Hummel is with the Telephone Company. 

SCIENTIFIC SECTION 

Of the scientific section three entered law, three became doctors, one 
a teacher, and twelve are in business. One changed from teaching to 
farming, Davis. Frey was first in business as a chemist, then entered the 
teaching profession, and is now a lawyer. The other lawyers are : Burnett 
and Garabrant. The doctors are : Patterson and Meinzer. 

Those who entered business have chosen the following occupations: 
Richters, insurance engineer ; Hart and Davis, farmers ; Titsworth, Smith 
and Sauer are civil engineers ; Allen, Feind and Stokes are chemists ; Eddy 
and Reid are electrical engineers, and Westfall is engaged in banking. 

Fourteen are married, one is a widower, and four are bachelors, the 
latter being Eddy, Hart, Feind and Westfall. The scientific section has 
22 children to its credit, being thus outnumbered by the classical boys in 
the number of progeny. 

The entire class has 55 children to its credit, 29 boys and 26 girls. 
Smith was the first benedict, and to his daughter, Abbie Eliza, born August 
22nd, 1902, was awarded the Class Bracelet. Frey is the father of the 
oldest boy, named Eugene Frank, born December 10th, 1905.
